Developed jointly with CNN and Twitter, Dataminr allows journalists to “set targeted alerts for certain types of breaking information that are then delivered automatically via application, email, pop-up, even instant message, depending on a user’s preference. Dataminr for News can be customized depending on a user’s particular topics of interest and regions of focus. Dataminr for News can also be directly integrated into existing internal client systems.”

The tool has not yet launched and no indication, yet, on when it will be available.
